The Missing Number

Can you identify the rule and find the missing number in this sequence?
3, 6, 12, 24, ?, 96

Solution:
The pattern in the sequence involves multiplying each number by 2. Let's break it down:
3 * 2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
Following this pattern, the next number to multiply by 2 is 24 * 2 = 48. Therefore, the missing number in the sequence is 48, making the completed sequence: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96.
